patricia makinsik heart of literacy. >> i am from st. louis, missouri. a lot of you think i have said it in correctly when i said missouri. you think i got it slid into my southern dialect, right? no. i was not born in st. louis. i was born in nashville, tennessee, a little town side of nashville. that is where i grew up, went to high school, met and married my husband. moved back to st. louis where i lived part of my life. i heard people saying missouri and missouri. what is the correct pronunciation of our new home? the best place to go when you want information is where? >> [inaudible]. >> of course, we all know that. i went to the library and the librarian gave me a wonderful book and began a life long friendship with the librarian. missouri is the native american pronunciation. in their language it is the people of the big boats. one word means all of that. missouri. frenchman who came up the mississippi river. they said that would be a great place to have a trading post. they set up a trading post and called it st. louis. missouri became missouri. now i ask you which is correc

i heard people saying missouri and missouri. what is the correct pronunciation of our new home? the best place to go when you want information is where? >> [inaudible]. >> of course, we all know that. i went to the library and the librarian gave me a wonderful book and began a life long friendship with the librarian. missouri is the native american pronunciation. in their language it is the people of the big boats. one word means all of that. missouri. frenchman who came up the mississippi river. they said that would be a great place to have a trading post. they set up a trading post and called it st. louis. missouri became missouri. now i ask you which is correct? missouri or missouri? >> missouri. okay. neither one. [laughter]. you can't say the native americans were wrong for saying missouri. you can't say the french were wrong for pronouncing it in their language, just different ways of pronouncing the same word. that is where we have the problem with the word different. different isn't a synonym of the word wrong. we have to be careful how we use it and our children. it a

market? we get an assessment. >> woodruff: then, gwen ifill reports on missouri's senate contest where the democratic incumbent has unexpectedly grabbed the lead. >> this the united states senate. mark shields an david brooks >> brown: mark shields and david brooks analyze the weeks news. >> woodruff: and ray suarez previews another political match to watch, thousands of miles south in venezuela, where long- time leader hugo chavez faces a young challenger. >> the election marks a watershed moment for the world's second largest oil producing nation. and a critical supplier of crude oil to the u.s. its number one customer. >> woodruff: that'all ahead on tonight's newshour. >> major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: carnegie corp >> and with the ongoing support of these institutions and foundations. and... >> this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. >> brown: more jobs, less unemployment. the september numbers offered the latest look into the u.s. economy, and the

party is tracking down the republican efforts to take over the senate. we have todd akin in missouri and richard mourdock in indiana. those seats were looking in favor of republicans and now are less so. can you talk about where you think the tea party has struggled to get republicans elected. are they a drag on the ticket as some people are saying? >> those who think the tea party is a drag on the ticket are not paying attention at all. if you look around the united states, look at all of the new state houses that were taking -- taken over, the new governors and new senators. did we win every race? no, and we will not win every race this time. when won an enormous amount of seats in statewide elections. just because we did not win every race does not mean it was not a big way. people are worried about the debt. that is what the tea party is worried about. i see the way: on through 2012. i would be surprised -- i see the wave going on through 2012. i would be surprised if we did not pick up seats in 2012. >> what would be your advice for candidates coming out of the tea party when it

was given parking -- a limited parking on -- around the corner i believe on missouri street. and because some of your staff can't do the enforcement, he begged, and pleaded to have parking restrictions on the west side of connecticut street so he could have business. so that is the story about that. >> chairman nolan: thank you. mr. lee you want to speak to those? >> good afternoon, mr. chair, members of the board. bon yee with sustainable street. this proposal is far from the way mr. toronto portrays. basically whatdt4nç happened was as you know, we approved bicycle lane project on cesar chavezueg÷jún about six months ago, and it's been implemented as part of that change, you can see -- you can see part of the parking being removed to accommodate the bike lane. so we look for ways to work with the businesses to make sure that there's enough turnover parking for the businesses during the day and at the same time we know that the yellow cab key op is on missouri street, which is the next street over. and they have a big

and governors races on c-span, c-span radio and i cspan.org/campaign2012. >> up next, the missouri senate debate between democratic senator claire mccaskill and republican challenger congressman todd akin. cook political report writes this race as likely democratic. this debate courtesy of ksdk-tv in st. louis is just under an hour. >> and good evening and welcome to the clayton chamber of commerce debate. and i will be your moderator for this evening. first we need to thank our presenting event sponsor, the law firm of hush blackwell and the media sponsors. ksdk news channel five, st. louis public raider, and the st. louis business journal. ksdk is televising this broadcast live to its affiliates across missouri. kansas city, springfield, and columbia. and st. louis public radio is doing the same. the broadcast is being streamed live on ksdk.com. we also invite you to take part on social media. our hash tag on twitter is mosen. before we begin i like to review the debate format. each candidate will get a three minute opening statement and a three minute closing statement. next our panel of medi

will be a state where democrats -- >> but on the other hand, missouri, arkansas, west virginia are gone. >> they're gone and not coming back. >> right. >> i mean, i think, you know, republican party is right to be kind of panicky about this. these parties are flexible and there are obvious paths to fixing it. is president romney gets done comprehensive immigration reform and an enormous amount of political pressure to do that if he wants to get reelected. >> worth noting, andrew ross is sorkin in terms of money in this race, i thought this was interesting, from an obama campaign aide this is reported in play book this morning -- we were talking before this show began, not you and i but me and the various advisers i keep and talking about the menu -- >> am i not part of the kitchen? >> we have to make that happen. >> get a slot. >> we'll get you a chair. that there's been so much money pumped into this race, and then on the super pac level, there was a breakdown of republican be or conservatives super pac donors in the shelden adelson has given $34 million to this race. the numbers are staggering

is it dragging down the republicans' efforts to take over the senate. we have todd aiken in missouri, recently who made some statements that were controversial and richard murdoch just now in indiana. both of those seats, were looking more in favor of republicans and now less so. can you talk about that and whether you think the tea party has struggled to get republicans elected moving forward and are they a drag on the ticket as some people are saying? >> you know, those who think the tea party is a drag on the ticket really aren't paying attention at all. if you look around the united states in 2010, look at all the new state houses that were taken over, the new governorships, the new senators. did we win every race? no, we won't win every race this time, but there was a wave election in 2010 and it was a tea party wave that came and we won an enormous amount of seats in state legislatures and got control of states that we hadn't have control of in a long time and just because we didn't win every race doesn't mean it was a big wave, so no i think the direction is still in favor of people are

and thunderstorms dove out of areas of missouri and is sliding into areas of the greater nashville, tennessee, area. worst drive, interstate 40 anywhere from nashville heading anywhere to the west. this has a lot of lightening too. i'm sure some of that thunder will be waking some people up earlier this morning in areas of central tennessee. as far as other areas of stormy weather, we're not looking at anything too bad out there. later this afternoon we have an isolated risk of severe storms. this is north texas into areas of western extreme portions of kansas. isolated strong storms. damaging hail and some gusty winds. as far as the airports go today, the nashville area, we'll watch that. much of the country is sitting there with a fall day. the weekend will give us some trouble. now here's a look at the weather outside your window. so a quiet day today. areas like new york city, most of that rain in northern new england will stay up there this morning. colder air, too, through the great lakes behind this next front. highs in areas like ohio only going to be in the 50s. and i guess the big weather

across to ohio, gather more people, then into independence, missouri, where joseph smith- the center place, the axis mundi, would be independence, missouri. but they developed so quickly. you know, it' another- the challenge of the secular world- how do they- how does this fit with non-mormons? well, the mormon mores ensued in missouri, and they had to move back across the river into illinois. now has anybody been to nauvoo? yeah, a few people have been to nauvoo. well, that is- certainly, for illinois- it's the site of the greatest drama here, and fortunately, we do have a roll-in coming up here shortly on it. but against all odds, they were able to take this swampy, disease - infested part of illinois here- and we're talking, you know 1839, into 40s - and in a short period of time, built the largest city in illinois- larger than even chicago. but animosity comes in- that secular world. the mormons have sacralized the entire political drama, and they're running the show, according to their mythic reading, and how doctrine spins on it. but the other residents of hancock county didn't

. >> reporter: the crew drove from missouri to lend a helping hand. >> 17 hours, and it was not with we expected. >> reporter: it's the same expectation many had. now many of them are thankful, with the help of these crews, that they should rebound so quickly. they've come in. they stayed out of their way. they've been very responsive. if you walk over, they talk with you. i'm very happy with what they've done. they've gotten us up and running so far pretty quickly. >> the missouri linemen said they spent five days in louisiana after katrina. once they finish their work they are expected to be sent north to help with new jersey and new york. all of us are looking at trees differently. we had a contractor killed when a tree fell on him on homewood avenue. the victim died at scene. firefighters said the man was part of the crew contracted to clean up trees in the area. >>> in towson they were working to remove a tree that came down on this house. with all the rain that we have seen from sandy, the tree service got the truck stuck and had to deeing that out. >> sandy's down -- winds down trees. at

on c-span, c-span radio and c c-span.org/campaign tbfl. >>> up next the missouri senate debate between clare mccaskill anded to akin. they rank this rice as likely democratic. it's just under an hour. ♪ ♪ >> good evening and welcome to the u.s. senate debate. my name is mike bush, i will be the moderator for the evening. we need to thank the presenting event sponsor the law firm. st. louis public radio, 90.7, and the st. louis business journal. we're televising this live to the affiliates across missouri. ky tv in springfield and colombia and st. louis public radio is doing the same. the broadcast is also being streamed live and stl public radio.org. we also invite you to take part on social media. our hashtag on twitter is mosen. our appreciation to the police and fire department as well as the school district of clayton for hosting the event. before we begin i would like to review the format. each candidate will give a throw minute opening statement and a three minutes closing statement. our panel of media response or so will ask question of the candidates. both candidates will r

thing down. >> that's the senate candidate from missouri this year, congressman todd akin. one of the things lost as soon as he said what he said about legitimate rape is his democratic opponent claire mccaskill had hand selected todd akin to be her opponent before he ever made the comments about rape. claire mccaskill used campaign money to run ads that were for todd akin advertising him to republican primary voters as the true conservative in the race. that's because claire mccaskill knew before he made his rape comments that he's the kind of guy who would make comments like that. he's proved her right. remember when rand paul came out against the civil rights act and then had to take it back when running for senate? remember how bad that was for him? did you hear what todd akin just said? stay with us. that's coming up. machine [ humming ] [ humming ] [ male announcer ] kraft macaroni & cheese. you know you love it. >>> i want to thank them for their help as well. and just in case anybody watching throughout the country, they are both available. no, no, no. only kidding, onl

a massachusetts to the united states, just modified. thank you. >> next step is part kills, missouri, lisa, a democrat. -- park hills, missouri, lisa, a democrat. >> the government does create jobs. i worked as a nurse in health care for government jobs on many occasions. also, the government jobs that men get when they are working on highways and things like that our government jobs. so that is in favor of obama. another topic -- and other comment i wanted to make and i don't know why president obama is not bringing this up, at the beginning of his term, the republican leader mitch mcconnell said that no legislation would get past from the republicans that they did not want passed. there were many filibusters that assault on c-span on -- that i saw on c-span. when people say that he plays the blame game a little bit, i think he does not place enough because it is a true fact that they did present a lot of legislation, especially the job act and things like that. on twitter, raquel offers this. next up is glanville, georgia, david, an independent. >> people supporting obamacare, which supp

candidate from missouri this year. this was not sent out by his opponent's campaign by the claire mccaskill campaign. it was sent out by a democratically leaning superpac. but this is obviously clearly designed to benefit her in the election. claire mccaskill is a very good campaigner. some of her ads in this election i should say, other than the talking mailer are among the best ads i've seen a democrat run anywhere. whatever you think about her politics, she's a very good campaigner. even has a very, very good campaigner it was almost impossible to imagine senator claire mccaskill being able to hold on to her senate seat this year just because she's the senator from missouri and missouri is trending more and more strongly republican. this is going to be a difficult race. right? the only reason she is not, however, just competing for this race, the only reason she's not just competitive for holding on to her seat, she's actually pretty far out ahead in her state right now. the only reason is because republicans picked a carl paladino type to run against her. the republicans picked t

are coming to them. for example, the missouri state university, a u.s. institution, has a campus. >> at what temperature does water freeze? what would you tell me? >> reporter: chinese students of the famed degrees of the university students in the u.s. more than 2,000 chinese have graduated from here since classes started six years ago. li xinyi hopes to join them. she's a senior studying busiss administration and accounting. li comes from inland china. she achieved excellent grades in high school and was especially skilled in english. but due to lack of finances, li had to abandon the degree. she now says she hopes to pursue her goals at this u.s. university in china. studying at a top american university has always been her dream. >> translators: nowadays many firms are opposing offices here. i hope studying at this university will boost my chances of getting a job at a foreign company. >> the university's graduate students have started joint research with top 11 students from 12 other universities and with such organizations in china. the graduate school hopes this will help it enhance i

in a segment called "you magnificent bastards." we'll start in missouri where lucky show me staters could turn todd akin into a republican senator. he has ideas frnch what i understand from doctors that's really rare. if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. >> jon: yeah, the female body shuts it down. if it's legitimate rape. todd akin on the vaginas magical powers. yes, kit repel rape sperm. it can turn ordinary rocks into beautiful gems in minutes and this is true, this is new, the new upgraded operating system vagina, two vaginas that pass each other can swap playlists. [ laughter ] didn't know that. now, people are going i've got to upgrade. since the comments akin has gone from an 11 point lead to six points behind the incumbent but some folks like reverend stoney shaw are sticking with him. >> some of my family was, you know, my children, dad, you're not going to support him, are you? everybody is turning against him. i said, well there was another guy everybody turned against. >> jon: jerry sandusky? no.

of the language and the same language that he used in august when scolding missouri senate candidate todd akin. >> i don't know how these guys come up with these ideas. let me make a very simple proposition. rape is rape. it is a crime. [ applause ] and so, these various distinctions about rape, and you know, don't make too much sense to me, don't make any sense to me. >> meanwhile, mitt romney's campaign says he continues to support mourdock, although romney disagrees with mourdock's opposition to abortion in cases of rape or incest. >>> now to the atlantic, where hurricane sandy looks to become a menace for folks all along the u.s. east coast. it's expected to bring high winds and heavy rain, even snow to some areas. early this morning, sandy slammed into cuba as a strong category 2 hurricane, packing winds of 110 miles per hour. the storm is being blamed for two deaths so far, one in jamaica and one in haiti. bill karins will have more on where this storm is headed, coming up in weather in just a few minutes. >>> but first, here's a look at some of the other stories making news "early today

't, make it overseas to study, overseas universities are coming to them. for example, the missouri state university, a u.s. institution, provides classes on the campus of a university in china. all classes are in english. at what temperature does water freeze? what would you tell me? chinese students earn the same degrees as the university students in the u.s. more than 2,000 chinese have graduated from here. since classes started six years ago. she hopes to join them. she is a senior, studying business administration, and accounting. li comes from inland china and achieved excellent grade in high school and was especially skilled in english. but due to lack of finances, li had to abandon the degree. she now says she hopes to pursue her goals at this u.s. university in china. studying at the top american university had always been her dream. >> nowadays many leading businesses, especially nonchinese firms are opening officize hope studying at this university will boost my chances of getting a job at a foreign company. >> reporter: the university graduate students half started joint resea

when scolding missouri senate candidate todd akin. >> i don't know how these guys come up with these ideas. let me make a very simple proposition. rape is rape. it is a crime. [ applause ] >> and so the very distinctions about rape, you know -- don't make too much sense to me. don't make any sense to me. >> meanwhile, mitt romney's campaign says he continues to support mourdock even though romney disagrees with mourdock's opinion of abortion in cases of rape or incest. >>> here's a look at other stories making news in america. we'll begin in philadelphia where an airport gate crasher is headed to prison. back in march the 25-year-old man crashed his suv through a gate and raced down the runway at philadelphia international airport at speeds topping 100 miles per hour. he's been sentenced to 16 months in prison and must pay $92,000 in restitution. >>> now over to missouri where one thief armed with a very unusual weapon robbed a kansas city restaurant. right there, the suspect dressed in dark clothing is caught on surveillance video entering a store wielding a sam ma rye sw

of precipitation from minnesota back through central missouri. this line of showers to the south of the main storm coming here tomorrow night. we'll talk about that straight ahead. in the mean teamen joy an awfully pleasant evening. >> he isn't the summer getting to note ends and out of our city. now he is ready to make his mark. first, thodges batts will have to get through the confirmation hearings. rosie? >> the city council chamber is packed with not only the city council but others. we get to hear from acting commissioner anthony batts. he has an interesting resume. he is also a lecturer at harford and has a ph.d in public administration. he said crime is more than stats and numbers that crime is about people. he wants to impact people and neighborhoods in this city. here's what he had to say. >> sharing my goal to build on positive community interaction. earning count trust will come with time and with hard work and our actions will speak louder than our words. without trust from the public we cannot and we will not succeed. >> one of the things that he also talked about, he says he wants to

. missouri congressman todd akin is trying to defeat clare mccaskill despite condemnation about rape and abortion. correspondent steve brown tells us where that race stands right now. >> this race is not over. i -- i'm not assuming anything. >> senator clare mccaskill is nothing if not careful. she's maintained a safe distance from fellow democrat president obama who's not popular in her home state. and the missouri senator hovers just a bit more than two points above republican congressman todd akin in the real clear politics average of show-me state senate polling. on undecideds are eyebrow raising 10%. >> this is probably two-thirds pro republican undecided so there's enough there, i think, for akin to make up the difference, if he gets the help he needs. >> help has been in short supply in the last three weeks since his gaffe about quote, legitimate rape. and shunned by national republican leaders including mitt romney. >> basically we lift the barn and they put the barn on top of us. in suburban st. charles county. it's not akin folks are mad at. >> we've probably had nor people

, big secret, don't tell anybody but burn has decided to go with jack of missouri. >> john: media ran with the false story. >> i was the guy that was going to go leak. >> john: lying to the guy? >> yes. >> what it does it helps tell a story, you want it told by an evening anchor or a candidate that expresses why he made this choice. >> john: four years later the "new york post" says john kerry had picked richard gephardt to to be his running mate but, of course, he picked out edwards. edwards turned out to be another mistake, but the media reported even fooled the campaign manager. >> i called up dick gephardt, i know you can't talk about this. he said i never happened. he said, steve, it didn't happen. wouldn't y wouldn't you believe so emphatically? >> you absolutely must keep all of this conversation going on with the nominee. >> john: so lying is okay in politics? >> running for office, lying is not okay unless you ask an inappropriate question. >> john: politicians have always lied. >> i am not a crook. i did not have sexual relations with that woman. >> the media used to give ca

%. tim kaine, 47%. vacated jim webb democrat seat. last one, missouri, todd akman from missouri. 43% against claire mccaskil mccaskill. this is why it matters. currently, dems hold 53 seats and republicans 47. if you flip four of them, four flips look what you end up with. 51-49 majority in the senate. the senate is in play. >> bob: north dakota seat is going to republicans right now. we know that for sure. in connecticut, obama will live connecticut by a large margin. mcmahon doesn't have a chance to win the seat. acheman, who you said get out of race is within striking distance of winning that. that says a lot about republicans of missouri. i just don't understand that. the other race -- >> eric: george allen and kaine. >> bob: that is as close as the presidential race. i think probably kaine can pull out a victory. >> dana: mine is about catholic voters. battleground poll on monday. 47 to 45% romney leading obama on catholics. amongst active catholics, churchgoing, 39 to 36%. obama won by plus nine. in 2008, romney up plus one in 12. that matters big-time in ohio. leonard leo run

should have taken a listen from missouri congressman todd akin. he was expected to beat claire mccaskill handily but that's before he talked about the rape and the magical powers of a woman's body to shut down. now there is a six-point lead. the only surprise there is it isn't bigger. here to discuss the war on women congresswoman jacki speier fromcal. beyond shock. how do you react to this craziness? >> i don't believe it. most women think it's a joke when they hear it. how are those words coming out of who we think must be intelligent people. they're running for congress, running for presidency. yet they are saying it, and i do think they believe it. they do not want to allow abortions for women who have been victims of rape. >> eliot: i think you are right this is why it makes it so much more important where words have been misspoken and not meant. they do mean it. the republican platform is crazy, not as crazy as this statement but they're crazy. there are 40 members of congress who subscribe to a view like this. there is insane stuff. >> well, you know, mitt romney has said h

with the admission of missouri as of slave state -- state midges much more than the state of louisiana from domestic guerrilla to the rocky mountains it was settled by the missouri compromise. then the nullification encounter mercy it was already settled by compromise than late 1840's the future of slavery the territory from mexico and mexican war settled by the compromise of 1850. precedent and tradition in place for another settlement the chief issue between the republicans and the south but not slavery of the 15 states. almost all americans americans, republicans included the constitution and protected slavery. rather the critical question was slavery in the national territories and those that had not yet become states. geographically that we think of as the great plains and the rocky mountains to california. that did not include california. it was already a state to. the question was critical because it had to do with the future of slavery and seven powerpc in the nation. -- southern power in the nation. what is there constitutional rights as citizens? moving slave property into territories owne

. >>> republicans have a todd akin problem. he's the missouri senator candidate who six weeks ago created a controversy with comments about so-called legitimate rape. he's speaking out against women again in a town hall meeting. last week, last thursday to be exact, he was asked if it it's okay for women to be paid less than a man. >> if somebody wants to hire somebody and they agree on a salary, that's fine, however it wants to work. >> that's fine. fine to pay women less than men for doing the same work? for weeks republicans tried to push akin out of the race. now they are stuck with it. but here's the gop problem. mr. akin says out loud what they believe. making akin a campaign issue. >> some things you have to draw a line. it's just too extreme, like ann marie buerkle. she co-sponsored a bill that would redefine rape for only forceable rape, women that were drugged or minors of statutory rape would not be classified rape victims. >> what happens in missouri isn't staying in missouri. todd akin is everywhere and he's every republican's problem. joining me now is reporter sat salon.com

it became an issue in missouri, i know the on the abortion issue, you're pro life. would you allow any exceptions. >> my position is pretty clear. i'm pro life. i'm concerned about the unborn and people that can't take care of themselves so i'm pro life. i would make an exception for the life of the mother. >> you would not make an exception for rape? >> no. >> why would you force a woman who has been raped to have to have that baby? >> you know, like i said jim, my position is pro-life. and i care about the unborn. and i feel, you know, that's really where we should be in our policy. >> what would the appropriate sentence be if abortion was illegal and a woman did have an abortion? >> i'll leave that up to others to, you know, come up with that. >> should we put her in jail? should we fine her? i mean, do you have any thoughts on that at all? >> you know, those are things that need to be worked out through the, you know, through the legislative process. >> and that is why the democrats really might hold on to kent conrad's u.s. seat in north dakota. when kent conrad decided to retire,

if necessary to keep out skin hunters. the following year, senator george best of missouri, pushed to through an amendment through congress that reduced the area that could be developed in the park from 4400 acres to just ten. also, under the bill, the army could be deployed as a last resort to protect the park. that is exactly what happened in 1886, when northern pacific's allies zeroed out the park budget and park rangers stopped receiving pay checks. in august, 1886, sheridan ordered theaters u.s. cavalry to the park could toe operate it until further notice. the army did so for the next 32 years. until the new national park service took over in 1918. in 1884, general of the army, william sherman, retired and phil sheridan succeeded him as the army's commanding general. sheridan became the first army general and chief whose entire adult life had been spent in uniform. he was general in chief for just four years. he died of heart disease in august 1888, at the age of 57. sheridan was remembered as the rare commander who could inspire and improvise on the battlefield. this was evident at sto

of the division of the missouri, and he had moved to that district in chicago because of the railroads going through this. and the great chicago fire wiped out the headquarters. so we don't have that much to go on. you have to, i mean, i was forced to really rely heavily on people that served with him, their autobiographies, the official records of the civil war, of course, and then he wrote his personal memoirs, and he had papers after that point. so i think that's probably one of the main reasons, just material. yes, sir. >> i wonder if you'd done any -- i really enjoyed the book, by the way. i didn't know anything about sheridan until i read this. >> thank you. >> but it raised a question i've had for a long time as why in -- it's related -- the generalship of the confederacy was so poor in the western compared to the eastern side. and my thinking had always been that if sheridan and sherman and grant had faced the same kind of generals, they might not have survived long enough to become competent b generals. >> it's possible, yeah. yeah, the quality of the generals in the west wasn't tha

north dakota, missouri, the candidates faltered. the numbers are not so good there. on the house side, democrats need 25, but they have a bunch of vulnerable incumbents. the number of seats where democrats are retiring could cause republicans to pick up as well. host: you were in missouri last week. what did you hear about the senate race? guest a once upon a time, claire mccaskill was the most democrats -- most vulnerable democrat, if not the most vulnerable incumbent. she had been very close with barack obama, and he was very unpopular in the state. and she had this controversy where there was an airplane owned by her family that was being written off for tax reasons. then came the republican primary and taught a can, he won in the primary somehow, though thought to be the weakest. then he had this unfortunate comment about how legitimate rate is not likely to cause pregnancy -- rape is not likely to cause pregnancy, becoming fodder for late-night comedians and giving heartburn to republicans across the nation. but he has not gone away. outside kansas city and st. louis, he remains
